Own a home or condo in Palm Beach? What closing costs a seller pays in Palm Beach County, line by line
The Town of Palm Beach occupies a barrier island about 16 miles long and, in places, only a few hundred yards wide. Henry Flagler built the Royal Poinciana and the Breakers here in the 1890s and extended his railroad to reach them, and the town has been protecting that inheritance ever since through landmark designation and one of the strictest architectural review processes in Florida.
Key takeaways
- In September 2026, single-family homes in Palm Beach closed at a median of $12,000,000, at 95.3% of the original asking price and 95.3% of the final asking price, after a median 23 days on market, across 7 closings.
- In September 2026, condominiums and townhouses in Palm Beach closed at a median of $1,382,500, at 89.7% of the original asking price and 91.2% of the final asking price, after a median 138 days on market, across 13 closings.
- The North End, the Estate Section, the In-Town blocks around Worth Avenue and the South End condominium corridor are effectively four markets.
- Three bridges connect the island to West Palm Beach: Flagler Memorial, Royal Park and Southern Boulevard.
For an owner, that process is not decoration. What a buyer can demolish, add or alter determines what a lot is worth, and the answer is frequently different from what the same lot would be worth a bridge away in West Palm Beach.
What is selling
In September 2026, single-family homes in Palm Beach closed at a median of $12,000,000, at 95.3% of the original asking price and 95.3% of the final asking price, after a median 23 days on market, across 7 closings. Across the year so far, 89 closed at a median of $12,500,000, against 58 at $13,000,000 in the same period last year. There are 73 on the market now at a median asking price of $19,500,000, and about 10.4 months of supply, which puts the leverage firmly with buyers.
In September 2026, condominiums and townhouses in Palm Beach closed at a median of $1,382,500, at 89.7% of the original asking price and 91.2% of the final asking price, after a median 138 days on market, across 13 closings. Across the year so far, 243 closed at a median of $1,675,000, against 168 at $1,787,500 in the same period last year. There are 158 on the market now at a median asking price of $1,610,000, and about 12.2 months of supply, which puts the leverage firmly with buyers.
Houses and condominiums are reported separately here on purpose. Averaging the two produces a number that describes neither, and in this market the two halves frequently move in different directions.

The island's neighborhoods
The North End, the Estate Section, the In-Town blocks around Worth Avenue and the South End condominium corridor are effectively four markets. Our page on the history of the island covers how they came to be. For figures, this page is the one that updates monthly.
Getting around
Three bridges connect the island to West Palm Beach: Flagler Memorial, Royal Park and Southern Boulevard. Palm Beach International Airport is about 15 minutes away, the West Palm Beach Brightline and Tri-Rail stations about 2 miles, and the Palm Beach Marina sits on the Intracoastal side. Good Samaritan Medical Center is roughly 3 miles.
Working with us in Palm Beach
Pricing on the island is a landmark and zoning question before it is a comparable sales question. What the Architectural Commission and the Landmarks Preservation Commission will permit on your lot, and what a buyer's architect thinks they can achieve, sets the ceiling.
Gia Freer, our Broker of Record, has been licensed in Florida since 2000. PBP Real Estate is a transaction broker, and we handle probate and estate sales in house, which matters where a significant share of transfers follow an estate. No automated estimate is published on this site; on this island there is no honest way to produce one.
